Science Grid This Week Goes Online | ||
| ||
|
Yesterday the U.S. science grid community launched Science Grid This Week,
a weekly publication reporting news and information about grid computing
projects and collaborations from all fields of science.
Science Grid This Week is an e-newsletter written for non-scientists and
members of the grid computing community, and is available online and emailed
free to subscribers. The newsletter includes reports from conferences and
workshops worldwide, news about grid initiatives, education and outreach
projects, and profiles of scientists and students working daily on grid
development and the science that benefits from it.

From Burning the Prairie To
Selling Books; Judy Sabo Retires The Accelerator Division's Judy Sabo will retire today after working at Fermilab since October of 1980. The Aurora, Illinois native was hired for a temporary position and is now an electronics technician for AD's
Beyond electronics, Judy was an instrumental volunteer in restoring the grasslands of Fermilab. From a neglected land to a vibrant and healthy ecosystem, Sabo was there to help. She recalled the first prairie burn. "The first year we burned, there was all this plant debris, and we had a huge fire," said Sabo. "The flames looked like they would touch the top of Wilson Hall." She plans on returning in the fall to help with the seed harvest.
During her retirement Sabo plans to help a friend sell Catholic books
and materials. She would like to thank all of the people who helped her
at Fermilab throughout the years.

From the Daily Herald, April 28, 2005 Pushing the boundaries of perception by Robert McCoppin A century after Einstein, a Fermi physicist uses relativity to explore how the universe works. Debbie Harris is shooting pool in the dark.
Actually, she's part of a team of physicists shooting invisible particles underground from Fermilab in Batavia to a detector in Minnesota.

Phyllis Deering Retires to Kentucky Do you ever wonder where all of the small components for Fermilab's experiments come from? Chances are that the Particle Physics Division's Phyllis Deering has had her hands on a number of them. And after 20 and
In November 1984, Deering started as a Lab Assistant soldering wire chambers in Lab 6. After six months, she moved to Lab 8, where she has worked ever since. There she ran the Gerber CNC Routing machine for the E-706 experiment. When DZero started up in the early nineties, Deering became the day shift production coordinator in Lab 8. In addition to E-706 and DZero, Deering has been involved with production jobs for CDF, CMS Muon and Hadron, KTeV, Atlas, MINOS, NASA/GLAST, and Nova — just to name a few. Deering is currently the Group Leader for the PPD/TC/CNC Routing Group, which machines scintillator, other plastics, circuit boards, carbon fiber and other various materials. Her group most recently finished machining and assembling scintillator tiles for a project for NASA/GLAST that will be launched in space in a couple of years on an unmanned rocket. She is also the Building Manager for Lab 8.
"I'll greatly miss all of my co-workers — we're like a family here,"
Deering said. "I'll also miss all of the other wonderful people that I've met at Fermilab. I truly believe that people should be happy while they're working. People get more done in a happy, friendly environment like Lab 8 and Fermilab. I want to thank everyone for a great 20 and a half years."
